Nancy suggested the following to clarify the Table Topics Master duties.
Table Topics Master role
If we have guests, describe Table Topics before calling on anyone. Remind them that they can take the topic anywhere.
Remind us of the Word of the Day.
Call on Table Topic participants, rather than asking for volunteers.
At the start of the meeting, make a list of members who do not have meeting roles. Call on them first.
Call upon guests only after about 3 members have already done theirs, to give our guest and idea of how it works.
VI. Adjourn: Katie motioned to adjourn, Bill 2nd
Officer Reports
May 13, 2025
VP Education/ Webmaster: Nancy
Webmaster:
FTH still thinks Nadine may be a Bot, even though she is on the whitelist.
VPE:
Everyone has a mentor.
Check in with your protégé. It is nice for them to know you care.
Mara will not be taking on new protégé.
Sergeant At Arms:
1. I found a nice magnetic TM name badge for Linda Youngie Li
buried deep in the PSNW supplies. I presume I can toss it, since
she isn’t a member anymore? Kelly will give it to Jean Tracy, who knows Linda
2. Kelly, do you have the little tripod that the club ordered? My
(admittedly shifty) memory tells me that you were going to take it
home and put it together. Kelly found the tripod.
3. All is well.
VP Membership: Theresa
New Members: We have one new member: Tommie (TK) Kasnick

Member removals:
We had two members, who chose not to renew, and were removed from our list: Victor and Jin.
VP Public Relations: Kelly
Not much going on in PR-land with my conference duties consuming me…however there is light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t believe the conference is next weekend!!!
Google My Business
The problem is not accessing the profile, the problem is we need to verify before we can make updates and they want a video, created onsite, which I tried last time, and it failed. Maybe since we have had the address of the Brightwater pinned to our ‘Meeting Page’, it will work again. I will try it at our next in person meeting in June.
